I've seen and fixed many that put the cap through the back of the trailer. Mainly because Farmers think recaps are a good idea then don't drive enough to wear them out and 5 years later (if not sooner) they start throwing caps. Rewireing the whole trailer on a timpte because the back light wiring is destroyed sucks.
We were probably responsible for a few. We used to burn through tires more when we had a lumber contract. Used caps for years but whenever we had some that were too old or failed the inspection we would sell them to the local farmers. They found the cheapest tire shop around that would cap them and they would routinely come apart. Good shop had a 5yr limit on casings and any cord damage and they were rejected. Not the farmer special shops, if it’s black and round it passes. Was a good outlet for junk tires. Lol
